#boycott facebook

[nando161mando]

My oh my. From ABC News Australia: "Facebook admits to scraping every Australian adult user's public photos and posts to train AI, with no opt-out option."

A summary:

"The company does not offer Australians an opt out option like it does in the EU, because it has not been required to do so under privacy law."

BTW the ABC News website has links to Facebook, Instagram and X but no Fediverse profiles. So their posts are used to train #Llama

It appears that Facebook responded to my business page branding change, by deleting everything in my business account, page included. Which was quite discouraging. Facebook has been so hostile in the last 8 years.

So I'm putting my business on Facebook competitors social media sites.

We don't want facebook.

TFW people remember facebook existed at Harvard before Zuckerberg was born, neither did he have the idea to put that facebook online, he's just a bigot who stole the idea and ran, and he runs his company like fox news but our parents can't seem to figure out the facebook algo shows them a very "AI"-curated newsfeed programmed to shift the overton window to the right as fast as possible, and they harshly censor leftist speech; part of why I have been urging a boycott of facebook for roughly 12 years and 3 months, join the boycott, send a good bye message to your facebook friends letting them know what you're doing and why and how to reach you, and delete your facebook account today :)

I also urge a boycott of twitter for many (potentially obvious, abovely similar) reasons

Zuckerberging my friends. Day 2:

They have begun acknowledging zuckerberg's presence, but still have not yet called out the fact that I'm doing it.

Perhaps I am too strange an entity already and they expect this behavior of me as a matter of course. Perhaps they secretly find him attractive and haven't yet thought to question my motives as they are too distracted by this.

I cannot say as of yet. I will continue my endeavors.

Wouldn't it be nice if they actually did something about it?

okay so I keep general politics off this blog (other than eat the rich, obviously) but I am so tired of hearing this shit from family members on facebook and am heated at the moment so:

this blog stands with palestine 🇵🇸

so i can't use the phrase "pinkwashing" on facebook. i tried three times, and could send other replies, including a censored version. so that's..... super cool

update: 1:57 pm : it's letting me now, in conversations unrelated to I/P. so no idea what that was about, very strange, but hopefully this edit goes through so nobody gets misinformed

Beware guys, FB/Meta seems to be more actively shadow banning users that support 🍉 and also profiling users while at it.

My FB profile just got locked just moments ago. I was just sharing a GoFund link to an FB group that support 🍉 and suddenly, FB said that I am not allowed to share anything to any FB group anymore...?

Like, I don't even post on FB every day, just about and lurking around.

Then again suddenly after seconds, my profile is locked, and it said that someone is actively trying to hack into my account. I already have the 2-authentication thing set up tho 🙄😮‍💨

Afterwards, it said to retrieve my account, I need to submit a pic of my ID that should at least have the same name as my profile name and at least the same birthday date as on my profile too. Which I did submit the pic, but I guess since my profile name is not my real name and my profile pic on my ID is blurry (thanks to the gov budget camera lol), they further reply through email with this (which really confirms that they really are have been profiling users):

This is actually already my 2nd account, they did a similar thing to my 1st account, which was making users confirm their real names. If you failed to do so, the profile name will be change to your real name and can't ever again be changed. (This may be old school, but it's not actually safe to reveal and use your real name online.)

I guess from that point on, where they make users confirmed their real names, they were already starting profiling users.

I guess with this, I no longer want to make another account coz this is already too inconvenient since it's already my second account.

Oh yeah, don't forget to keep boycotting/cancelling and keep doing the blockout on all platforms guys 🤗 Please don't also forget to keep signing those petitions 💖🍉 TQSM 🙇🏻‍♀️💖

I shared this post on my Facebook, and it was immediately taken down for "violating cybersecurity standards"?

Lmfao alright, I should have known it was run by Zionists

[jewishbarbies]

the way that people on social media now expect you to take everything someone says online as fact and that's how you should get your information is so fucking infuriating. i'm not trusting some random twt or tumblr user (or, god forbid, reddit) to give me accurate information on ANYTHING when we literally know how many fucking bots and disinformation campaigns exist on our internet. genz prides itself on being "the most politically aware" and act like they're going to start a fucking revolution from their iphones with hashtags, and then turn around and believe what someone says on a fucking tiktok with absolutely no sources or fact verification at all. yeah, y'all are real aware - of bullshit. do fucking better.

too many people are complaining that the strike on the 11th is “too short noticed” or “organized” when an actual palestinian in gaza started the call for it and there can and will be more strikes after this…just be prepared for and aware of continuous and numerous future acts of disruption (both small and huge) until palestine is free hello

The video of the captive release featuring the two elderly women, one of whom turns to shake the hand of a militant, I posted it on my personal Facebook earlier and it was just taken down for "supporting" "people or organisations we define as dangerous"

It is a piece of news regarding a captive situation in a historical event, fuckers
